Shaquille O’Neal says LeBron James should chase another championship, not worry about the critics
“I think he’s going to go somewhere he can win another ring.”
“Maybe Miami. Maybe Golden State. Maybe even Philly.”
“Once we’re done playing, we can never play again.”
“You never want to retire saying, ‘I should have done this. I should have done that.’”
“A lot of haters call it ring chasing.”
“But you’re supposed to chase rings.”
“If you chase rings and accomplish getting them, that’s what we call greatness.”
“Those who haven’t achieved greatness call it ring chasing because they haven’t achieved greatness.”
Kevin Hart couldn’t stop laughing after Marcello Hernandez started doing an impression of him, mocking him for always being on the phone and constantly talking about money😭😭💀
Allen Iverson says LeBron turned his friends into businessmen. On his own friends: “I wish I had that blueprint”
“I love LeBron James. The things that he’s done for his family and his friends are remarkable. I didn’t have that”
“The way I felt about my friends… he gave a lot to them off the basketball court, and how he was able to make sure his friends were successful”
“As a businessmen. Big business. I wish I had that blueprint then”
DeMarcus Cousins says he doesn’t like the way LeBron James was treated LA:
“And you know we in this era now that you can’t really, you know speak on his behalf or it’s considered glazing or we paid by Klutch all this goofy sh*t but for the most part, you know, I grow up in the era of watching Bron like create the blueprint for the next guys coming up. So, I think he’s a legend in this game hands down. I just, I don’t know we kind of getting to a point where you know when it comes to our legends in the game, I don’t think they going out gracefully the way they should. I mean, from Melo to how CP was handled. We kind of watching how the Lakers just kind of act like Bron ain’t LeBron, like, you know what I mean? So, Kevin Durant, like, you know? So, I want him to go whenever he’s going to be appreciated and where he’s going to get the flowers he deserves.”

Gilbert Arenas says he ranks LeBron James ahead of Kobe Bryant because LeBron was already challenging him for the throne at just 21 years old
“Kobe made it look better.”
“The bag is crazy.”
“The work ethic is crazy.”
“When Kobe was supposed to be the king at the top of the hill, Shaq had just left.”
“It was his time to be all-world.”
“LeBron James was challenging him in that moment.”
“And he was only 21.”
“There was a 21-year-old who’s challenging you still.”
“You’re not knocking him out of the way.”
“Out of the 19 games y’all played after Shaq left, the kid was 13-16-3 against you.”
“You averaged 35.”
“LeBron was the runner-up for MVP.”
“He got a horrible team to the Finals.”
“You won your MVP.”
“He took back-to-back MVPs from you.”
“You won back-to-back championships.”
“He won back-to-back MVPs.”
“The time where you were supposed to be fighting Jordan for who was better, he was fighting you for who was better.”
